The Epiks chart says size 0 is 1.78cm and size 1 is 2.29cm. According to that Lu should wear size 1. Most dogs Lu's size seem to wear size 0 but maybe she has big feet? (She doesn't seem to but what do I know) I realize a few cm here or there is not that big of a difference but yet it is the difference between sizes and what will fit will and what will be too small or too large. I wish Epiks used a length measurement as well. . . (That might have helped a bit.)
Have you been pleased with the Epiks shoes? Have you been using them long? I know they say that they have lots of science behind the design but I know for humans improper fitting shoes can cause all kinds of joint issues and pain and so I have wanted to be sure whatever I put on Lu's feet will not cause any issues for her. Unfortunately there aren't a great number of options for really tiny feet. |
Hi! I have the size 0 and they actually fit Sophie's tiny feet (she is 2.5 to 3 lbs, 7" topline, so pretty tiny). Epiks make the smallest shoes size, even though they all say size 0. So the good and the bad: They have a lot of padding on the inside and firm rubber soles. The sizing seems to be true to size; however, they also tend to come off because there isn't a Velcro strap to hold the zipper up. They also make a 'knocking' sound from the zipper 'knocking' against the boot (not sure if she doesn't like to sound or the vibes from it). She likes soft boots soooo much better that the arch supports or rubber soles so if someone can make them for you, maybe that would be better??
